Embracing Limitation | Gates of Change | Pastor Steven Furtick 

"Prisons of Offense" was life transforming for me. I love hearing confirmation of this message over and over again now. I need to hear it over and over again to undo all the years of doing it wrong! No more blame game. God is in control of the plan for my life no matter what! He is in charge of my destiny...not me or what others may do to me. I got the message and am trying to walk it out in my daily life. Thank you for listening to your call and not to the naysayers. This generation is blessed to have you. Praying for protection for you and your family. The enemy would love to take you down but I am believing that will not happen. May God continue to multiply the work that He has called you to do.

IT'S HAPPENING!!! ALL COLORS! ALL PEOPLE, WE ARE ALL GOD'S CHILDREN. IT'S HAPPENING!

"When you let your PAST experience regulate access to your future, you will always be stuck in a stage of life that CAN NOT accommodate what God is trying to do in THIS season of your life.... We block our own blessings because of our own disbelief." Love when I feel like the word is just for me!

Don't block your blessings with your limiting beliefs (yours or others'). yess

This is my first time testifying. I am a christian who was ostracised for something i had done in the past that was exposed in church. As a really young person, alot of persons especially some of my friends stopped talking to me at church, both many young and older persons alike. But a couple years passed and i experienced isolation from many persons, being by myself most of the time, crying and just feeling worthless with it affecting my self esteem, how i talked to my friends, and how i worshiped in church. It was always prophesied over me that i was special, had a powerful singing ministry and i needed to go deeper in God BUT i mean after that embarrassing event and all the shame i felt at the same time i never acted immediately on these things so i began to hide. Singing for God's glory became a burden and i was afraid of what ppl might of said because of what they knew had happened to me in the past. I was appointed the position over something major in my church and many of the persons under that ministry did not see it fit to support me, and i questioned God as to why he would appoint me over something like that. I was doubtful over my ability to do anything. But Thank God for using his servant Steven to reassure me that even an 18 yr old who has been rejected and isolated over something she has done in the past can be used to save and heal many people just through the use of her voice and singing abilities which God has blessed her to use to give glory only to His Name. At the time of writing this, i am currently an assistant choir director who is eighteen years old, who still is somewhat isolated, but has already given these problems to God and this sermon came as a reassurance at some three years after the embarrassing incident by which people still isolate me for in some way, even though it is kinda forgotten. But if God is able to use something rejected to become the chief cornerstone for His Glory, then i believe He'll use me and remove the past situation which is blocking my gates even now. Pastor Steven, if u see this, just know that not only are u more than inspiring people in the south, Ballentyne, University City and persons in the United States, but a simple teenager in the heart of Jamaica. This channel and the many sermons i have watched have literally changed my life, and i say this with tears in my eyes. Continue to encourage us with words we wont hear from persons around us, but from Lord who has put these words into your mouth. The Resurrected King is resurrecting me. God Bless from Jamaica.

"it's happening!" God's put a vision in my heart for a diverse, passionate, gracious church in Pittsburgh. Training for it now. That opening lit up my spirit. People look at me like I'm crazy when I talk about it. So thank you for that introduction.

What people meant for evil, God meant for good!

Please pray for my 17 year old daughter she is having some major issues going on in her life, we lost a precious uncle in 2015 to a tragic drowning and she was very close to him and she has been so mad at the world and at God, I tried to tell her it wasn't God's fault as to what happened to her uncle but she won't listen, she is about to lose her high school semester credits because of her attendance and the school said they would work with her if only she would go to school. She is a very sweet girl and has a beautiful heart.I need God to turn her around and make her run back to Him fast as she can. Thanks in advance.

These words found me, hiding behind a mask of insecurity.

The Lord God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: Isaiah 50

Shout out to Elevation Church from the Philippines! Im from New Life The Fort and on top of our church messages, i also listen to yours during my lunch break. Thank you for your generosity in sharing the word. Hugs and greetings from us here. Praise God for your ministry. More power! 😎

The limitations you embrace will regulate the blessings you experience... that's so true!

Day 81 ! You cannot defeat your giants if you see yourself as grasshoppers. Most of us die inside coz' our issues is beneath our skin. Unbelief stops everything. It's motion activated, when you move God moves. #Preach Pastor Steven 🔥🔥 Love from India 💓

Pastor...I just came home from a rough day, and something my manager said to me at work was putting doubt and limitations on what I saw. When I got home...this message was waiting on my phone (at the exact time of me leaving the meeting) I will get this permanent post, I am good enough, I am great. Thank you pastor Steven Fletcher for this word.

it is really crazy how I am watching this today after it posted two yrs ago. so relevant, so timely, so like my God to show up on time all the time!

This sermon was great. Life changing. I have to take a move.

AMEN!!! In the name of Jesus may your gift increase even more and be used in many dimensions! Thank you for being a blessing! My Gosh!

This is so SO good! Thankyou Stephen Furtick!! A spot on NOW word! 'He will use all who feel they are unworthy and not good enough, and have been ostracised and who feel limited'. Amen! There are 2 voices in my head right now. One is the outlandish voice of God that is telling me to dream big, push the doors, to keep going and to ignore the critics. This voice is characterised by overflowing joy and peace. The other is the voice of reason.... you can't, look at the mess you have made, you are too flaky, you will never do anything for God.. etc.... Thankyou for your encouragement to listen to my spirit; to listen to HIM! And not to put my trust in what is seen..

6 Years Later! The Word will never loose its power ‼️‼️

It's a dangerous thing to trust your dreams into someone else's disappointments. When the enemy puts you in a state of disbelief it blocks you from your own blessing!🙏

It is our unbelief that blocks our blessing, NOT OTHERS!

wonderful and powerful teaching my day was just breaking into blames and my thoughts start cheating me to see the person as the one not understanding mr but after i receive the sarmon i shut down my thought stop leaning on pple but on mighty hand of God the devil is a lier who want to take me back to shame but my sit at the gate is occupied he have no place in my life anymore thank you pastor for shating this word today it saves my life thoughts and everything God bless you abbundantly stay safe

This sermon is life changing.

Amen amen amen. Meant what I said about pastoring, but over and over, and over perhaps the best preacher alive. Seriously bless me again and again preacher

31:00 Sometimes God will use things that you hate to make his work through you (2 kings 4) Only one who can shout the victory is the one that God has raised from the ashes of defeat

"It's a dangerous thing to entrust your dream to someone else's disappointment...If we receive their doubt, they'll diss our appointment" Wonderful. God uses people in the most amazing ways. God bless Elevation Church!

And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and one soul: And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Acts 4 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Absolutely LOVED this series! Thank you so much for posting all your sermons, Pastor Steven.

👏👏👏👏Great message! All glory to the Most High God Almighty. Hallelujah!!!!!!

Thank YOU LORD for the revelation, the whole message is about me, indeed the anointing is timeless, YOU alone is GOD, SOVEREIGN, MIGHTY, AWESOME. Thank YOU JESUS.

A bueatiful confirmation for God's love and great purpose in my life. While I've yet to fully understand what it is... I know I must trust God and know that "I am enough"!! Thanks Pastor- Thanks elevation church!

The Lord is my light and my salvation. I will dwell in His house for the days of my life.

August 17th, 2019 I'm watching this- perfect timing for right now. Thank you!!!!

God bless your anointing Pastor Steven! It is ONLY by his grace that you have the ability to touch lives all around the world and speak to each one of us in a way that God intends for us to hear. I could go on and on expressing how limited I feel in this season I am approaching even though I have this feeling that is so so strong that everything will work out for my good the way God has promised me that it would even though I am incredibly worried (and scared tbh) about the way he will do it because my human mind really can not make sense of how it will fall into place BUT...I want to Thank YOU and Praise YOU for what God is doing through YOU! I will continue to pray for your ministry and family! #GodsPlan

I Love Your Strength that you bring to us all you are Definitely a Blessing in our lives and world that needs you 💞💫🙏 So Thankful for you...

Watching from BRAZIL !! God bless u

I wish Elevation Church would do a note or transcription of a sermon. This one specifically. So people with hearing impairment would be able to dig and thorough the messages by reading the notes or transcription. I notice Pastor Steven does sermon kinda in a story-telling way. So that's good that even when his preaching in transcription will be good to be read. It would be like reading a story, and people loves story. I hope Elevation will consider this idea. 🙌➕

Thank u God for the word 😇🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Cleanse me Lord from my secret faults.

God knows me more than I know me and still loves, amen 🙏🏾 No more shut gates, I am open to receiving and I stand up to and shout I believe when I smell a whiff of unbelief!

Exactly what I'm saying, Why do people dislike this? its motivation for your soul whether you dislike it or not.. I mean come on.. Preach Preacher

"Be careful who you lean on!!!!! It is our unbelief that blocks the blessings" 💎💎💎💎

His sermons are so God breathed. I feel blessed....He is so relevant too. Vibranium is in there. Lol.

God you were so timely with this message.Needed to hear this in my life.Pastor Steven can pushing and speaking God’ Word

What a Word Straight from God - Perfection is not the price of admission to the kingdom of God nor the great things he has called you to do on the Earth. Perfection has never stopped God from blessing us, it is many times our own UNBELIEF! Thank You God for using Steven Furtwick! This Page is like Dropping Atomic Bomb's of Faith on the Land of unbelief on God and wipping it off clean.

I love this ! Thank you Holy Ghost

They will “dis” our appointment. Wow!!! This sermon was EVERYTHING!

I wish Elevation Church would do a note or transcription of a sermon cos sometimes the subtitles just not correct. This one specifically. So people with hearing impairment would be able to dig and thorough the messages by reading the notes or transcription. I notice Pastor Steven does sermon kinda in a story-telling way. So that's good that even when his preaching in transcription will be good to be read. It would be like reading a story, and people loves story. I hope Elevation will consider this idea. 🙌➕

Lean on the Everlasting Arms.

Keep letting God use you. Transforming lives, Pastor Furtick. Thank you.

😭.. God is So Good!! I mean Wow!!! This Message right here, Changes Everything. 🔥🙇🏽

Thank God for this message. Fear and limitations has made me hide from the outside in a bid to protect myself from hurt and pain. But this message has given me an insight and understanding on how to face situations. God bless you pastor

Awesome sermon!!! Thank you pastor... May God keep blessings you....

This sermon was an answer to a prayer. Something horrific happened a week ago. I've been frozen with fear. This blessed me thank you for the God in you.

This was first time I have heard you preach, it's the best I have heard and what I needed to hear so bad. Past couple years things had been so bad, with health and now can't find a job. It's been very dark here lately, I know God and trying to keep my faith strong. Your words touch my soul, I know though you God just give me strength. Thank you for not giving up on your dream, if you had listened to "it's not going to happen". I wouldn't have just heard the words, that give me the most strength to keep fighting and walking in faith. Thank you again for this, and I thank our heavenly Father so much for you.

Recently started listening to the podcasts. This is my favourite sermon thus far! Amazing🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️

Thank you so much for this wonderful message.

Amen again 😇

THIS IS GOOD NEED THIS

God has blessed you with an amazing ability to excite those around you for Him, Mr Furtick, and I'm sure He wants to say to you, "Well done, my good and faithful servant." 2 Chronicles 16:9a: "The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him." Thank you for sharing your awesome messages!

Holy Ghost power!!!! praise God from all good things flow!!!! Thank you for letting God speak in and through you each week MR Furtick.
